Hurricane Debby Blew Through

Yep, Hurricane Debby blew right by our condo.  Technically, it was only a Tropical Storm while it went by our area, but when it was classified as a Hurricane, it was still dumping rain and blowing winds in Holiday Florida.

The storm dumped 8.5 inches or rain on our little community.  Roads flooded, some homes flooded (same areas that flood with every one of these storms), and no deaths in Pasco County, but at least four deaths in Florida.

I have five cameras pointed out five windows, two out front, two along the side, and one out back.  My primary purpose of the cameras is for watching what these storms do to our condo.  A bunch of wind...a whole lot of rain, and yet there were times of no or little rain allowing for the accumulated rains to drain off.

Talked to our lovely 88 year old neighbor next door, and she rode it out (as she has done all of these storms).  She said the lights flickered a time or two, and that was that.  So we dodged another Florida Hurricane...gotta wonder if our luck will ever run out.

  4. And my grandniece, hubbs and 3 kids moved from Las Vegas, NV to San Antonio, Florida. They arrived Monday morning. That was not good timing for them.

    1. San Antonio is on the other side (east side) of our county. You are right, not a good day to move in
